My Scene Lyrics

[Chorus (Condensed)]
What's my scene
I'm still tryna find my scene
What's my scene
I'm still tryna find my scene


[Verse 1]
I saw some hippies who were laying in the park
They were just passing the joint and playing the guitar
So I asked if I could join 'em (Do you guys mind if I hang out for a little bit?)
They said sure and complimented my aura
I said thanks and sat right down
Pulled the hash pipe out and relaxed myself for hours straight
We sat around baked and it felt great
We talked shit and made pictures out of cloud shapes
We talked about tofu, no shoes, folk tunes
And all the protesting that they don’t do (Nope)
Smoked doobs and talked about ways that they were saving the entire world
Then we went and fire twirled
Later that night while sitting in the same spot
I made up my mind and figured I would take off
I asked them “well so what else do you guys do?”
They looked surprised "this is it we get high"

[Chorus]
What's my scene?
I'm still tryna find my scene
What's my scene?
I'm still tryna find my scene
What's my...
I'm still tryna find my scene
What's my scene?
I'm still tryna find my scene
[Verse 2]
As I was walking from the park where the hippies were
I bumped into a bunch of drunks wearing business shirts
They just finished work, having a well earned drink
And they mistook me for some dude they used to work with
“Greg” yeah they kept calling me Greg
I thought, well I can be Greg at least for the weekend
And just pretend to be him what a sweet plan
We can be friends at the time it made complete sense
We went into a pub where we drank
And talked about all their money sitting in their bank
And our jobs, our stocks and the economy as well
And the best time to go and buy property and sell
And all the ways that money can be spent
A trend started to form I was bored so I said “well”

“I’m looking for a scene and this one isn’t it”
Left and heard 'em whispering “Greg seems different”

[Chorus]
What's my scene?
I'm still tryna find my scene
What's my scene?
I'm still tryna find my scene
What's my...
I'm still tryna find my scene
What's my scene?
I'm still tryna find my scene
[Bridge]
It's the hardest thing to do
To look like them but feel like you
It's the hardest thing to do
And it's the hardest thing to do
To look like them but feel like you
It's the hardest thing to do


[Verse 3]
Rocked up to a party with some cheap beer
I thought yeah, I could easy find a scene here
A bunch of dudes challenged me to some Halo
I said okay, but I’ve never really played though

I saw some pretty little hipsters in the corner
Who told me that their favourite bands were ones that hadn’t formed yet
I talked to lawyers dressed as sharks
Or maybe sharks dressed as lawyers, either way I felt unsafe in the water
I was chilling with Gym junkies talking 'bout their gym pass and spin class
While sipping Slim Fast from a hip flask
Told a guy I thought we looked the same, didn’t think he’d take offence
Pretty weird I think he said his name was Greg
I must have tried at least a hundred different scenes, but
I ain’t never found one that’s really me, nah
Maybe I’m a weirdo or maybe they’re the weird ones
Or maybe I don’t really even need one

But I’m still
[Chorus]
I'm still tryna find my scene
What's my scene?
I'm still tryna find my scene
What's my...
I'm still tryna find my scene
What's my scene?
I'm still tryna find my scene

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
